This one is definitely a favourite with the locals...and why not? A huge display cabinet full of amazing cakes, gorgeous chai lattes, a huge big deck to sit on, and all topped off by lovely views over the beach. What more could you ask for?
Well, some decent service for a start!!! I could not believe it...we went there the other day and had the rudest, most incompetent waiter I have ever come across! You order your food at the counter so, thankfully, we avoided 1 interaction with him but when the food arrived, that's when the fun started! Firstly, he dumped a chocolate cake in front of me that was not mine. I pointed out where it needed to go and he completely ignored me and placed the other cakes down incorrectly as well. He then brought back the coffees - he put mine down in front of me and then asked where the cappucino was going - I pointed over to my 91 year old grandfather (diagonally across from me) and this waiter just handed me the coffee and walked off. Did you hear what I said? He handed me the coffee (ie. to my hands, not placing it on the table) and let me hand it diagonally across the table to my grandfather. Please note, the waiter had full and free access to walk around the table! My mouth dropped open - I was astonished and everyone else was too. I am surprised I didn't have to make it myself! Thankfully, I managed to escape without burning my hand or anyone elses in the coffee passing process!
So, what can I say...the cake was beautiful, the chai latte was beautiful but this stupid, incompetent, arrogant waiter ruined it all. Ok, maybe he didn't ruin it fully as I now get to write a blog tearing strips off him which is quite fun but really, it was appalling!!!
So, what would Moo Moo Kane score this cafe? 9 out of 10 for cakes and coffee, 0 out of 10 for service!!! You won't keep me away though....great cakes will always win over a bit of burn-threatening hot coffee passing any day!!!
